Her first year away is turning out to be nearly perfect,
but one weekend of giving in to heated passion will change everything.
Eighteen-year-old
Harper has grown up under the thumb of her career marine father. Ready to live
life her own way and to experience things she's only ever heard of from the
jarheads in her father's unit, she's on her way to college at San Diego State
University.
Thanks to
her new roommate, Harper is introduced to a world of parties, gorgeous guys,
family, and emotions. She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls
in love with both her new boyfriend, Brandon, and her roommate's brother,
Chase. Despite their dangerous looks and histories, both men adore Harper and
would do anything for her, including taking a step back if it would mean she'd
be happy.
Okay, I am a little late on the times and I have finally gotten
to “Taking Chances” and I am sad that I waited so long to read this gem. Harper is finally out from under her father’s
thumb and has moved to a college far far away.
This opens the door to so many things that Harper hasn’t been able to
do; mainly boyfriends.
This book sets up a hate/love relationship with Chase right from
the beginning. You as the reader will
love him but want to ring his neck for being such a jerk. However, when she starts dating Brandon, I
found myself torn between whom I really wanted her with. Brandon was absolutely terrific and I couldn’t
find anything wrong with him but Chase still lingered in the back of my mind,
just like he did with Harper.
But wait, this is not just a love triangle. This is a sit in your bedroom and sob story
as well. The worst thing was, I knew it
was coming. The only way I can explain
is that if you ever have watched the show FRIENDS and the episode where Joe is
reading “Little Women” and he gets to the part where Beth is sick and Rachel
helps him put the book in the freezer because he just couldn’t finish it, that
is what happened to me. I had to prep
myself for this ending because I knew it would be heart breaking.
